PSA: red baseball caps with white writing are no longer ok. It doesn't matter what the writing says.
"... not committed to winning [him a lot of money]"

Tracers In The Dark is a fantastic book, and Gambaryan's story a great tale of investigating the darknet. These people deserve to be treated as heroes.
Though perhaps in a world where silk road founders get pardoned, this may never truly happen...
